The global economy uses a concept called "supply chains" to manufacture and transport its various goods for its markets. I always found the Amish fascinating. Not necessarily their faith.... but rather how they have managed to basically construct their own "miniature supply chains" within their private communities without the need of modern technology, fiat currency, or fossil fuels. Studying them and their methods as middle class citizens will prove extremely useful to prepare for a future where inflation and corruption will become so bad, it will be more efficient to do what they do.

OMG, I am so glad i wasnt the only one noticing this...

I’m curious about the fragrances. The labels state they’re all natural, but fragrance oils are man made,in a lab... They’re synthetic, not natural….

[@blowitoutyourcunt7675]

Essential oils come from herbs/flowers, all natural. Please remember that snake venom is all natural too, not all un-natural things are bad and not all natural things are good.

[@colinchick2692]

But essential oils are natural/

[@AromasOfJersey]

I don’t think so they use esencial oil for soaps
